not only am i short 5'2 but I'm also in my 40's so that makes it even harder. i don't have the energy/motivation that I used to have. that will change when i start my new job...so excited!

Hi, As I don't cook as often as I'd like (various reasons), tonight I am making meatloaf with potatoes (not sure how yet) and peas. I also have some fresh tomoatoes and cucumbers soaking in oil and vinegar as a side. I can't wait for dinner. LOL Paula-feel free to add me!

the more friends the better feel free to add me

hi, i think a lot of us are on this roller coaster ride. i will be getting back into the swing of things with my new job that i start next week. i will be getting more exercise working than i do at home. feel free to add me, i'd be happy to try to help.

hi, it's good to vent and get it out. i'm an emotional eater as well. i have so much going on and get seem to get through the day without thinking of food. i'm here to help if you want/need. feel free to add me

You are not alone...I've been struggling too!!! Feel free to add me!! Paula

hi welcome!! I found that this is the place to be! the support is fantastic. i get more support here than i do at home. feel free to add me if you want. Paula :smile:

hi, i log after every meal. that way i can keep track of what i have left and hold myself accountable so i don't go overboard. i have the app on my phone so even when i'm out i do it. paula

Hello, I too have at least 50+lbs to lose. I would love to be a part of your support system. Feel free to add me and good luck!! Paula

I agree with everyone else about drinking water, however, I drink Coke Zero every once in a while and I don't think it's that bad. Just start cutting back and don't drink it everyday. That might help. Paula:smile:

Hi Ethan, You have my support if you would like it I think what you are doing is awesome!! Keep up the good work. Don't listen to what friends and family say to you, do this for YOU!! You are the only one that has to answer to your successes as well as failures!! We all have them. Good luck and feel free to add me if you…

Hello, Congratulations on losing te 9 lbs. That is the begining!! I have at least 80 lbs to lose and I haven't been doing as well as I'd hope. There is great support here at MFP. I'm so happy to be here. Feel free to add me!! Paula :)

Hi, I'm only 5'2 and I'm working on it. It is a slow process for me but I don't want to be this way anymore. You are not only. Good things come in small packages!!! Always remember that. Paula :)

Hello, Good for you for coming back. It's great having the support of MFP. I get more support hear than I do at home. Feel free to add me if you want!! Paula

Hi, I have been where you are for the past 7 months due to being unemplpoyed.I am sorry you are feeling this way. I don't know what is going on in your life but I am always here if you need/want a friend. Feel free to add me if you want. I would love to try to help you. Paula

I am always looking for motivation too!! Feel free to add me!! Paula

I'll be in your corner. I am always looking for new friends. Feel free to add me. <3 Paula

I will too be your buddy!! As I am quite a bit older than you, I find it very difficult to lose weight!! I need help/motivation!! Feel free to add me!! Paula :smile:

Hi I have at least 80lbs as well to lose!! I could always use more friends/supporters. Feel free to add me and good luck! Paula:smile:

I fall off the wagon more often than I care to admit. But I noticed that I really do have support here and I just have to ask for it. Just remember that you are doing this for yourself FIRST before anyone else!! You have to put yourself first in this so that everything else will fall into place. I hope that made sense.…

Hi, Just wanted to wish you good luck with your weight loss goal!! Support and motivation are very important. Especially from people who care about you. I hope you have that as I do not but it's all good. Again, good luck! Paula :smile:

Hi, Welcome and good luck!! Feel free to add me!! Paula :smile:

Hello, I just wanted to say welcome and good luck!! I started at 205 and at one point I was 220 (before I joined MFP). It isn't easy for me at home because I have no support. My husband is thin and is basically no help!! I'm always looking for friends and support from people who understand. Feel free to add me!! Paula…

Hey neighbor, I live in Beverly. It's nice to find someone from my neck of the woods!!! Feel free to add me as a friend!! Paula :smile:

Hi, You are SO not alone!! I go through this every month as well!! It's awful!! I want to eat all the time in general but it's worse for me right before my period. I hope it all works out for you!! If you find out any secrets to help, please share!! Paula :smile:

Hello, You are not alone!! I have been eating out of control as well. I find that when it is close to "that time of the month" I go crazy!! Also, when I'm bored, depressed, anything really! I need motivation/support. Feel free to add me and maybe we can help each other!! Paula :smile:

1970 right here!!! Feel free to add as friend!! Paula :smile:

I'm just looking for support and friendship. It doesn't matter to me if they are like me or not!! Heck, most of the time I don't want to be like me!!! I will say that it would be nice to find someone closer to my age group that understands but if that doesn't happen, that's ok too. I'm friendly to anyone that is friendly…

Hello and welcome, I'm still getting used to all this as consistency has never been my thing!!! I'm trying really hard to eat better but I'm a food addict and I am constantly hungry. This is a good place to hold yourself accountable for what you do without being judged!! Feel free to add me and good luck to you!! Paula
